The Alef Aeronautics Model A is officially the first all-electric vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) car to get approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), meaning it can legally fly over the United States.
The statement comes from the company itself, which claims that the wingless flying car has a 200-mile driving range and a flight range of 110 miles, but as it stands now, the futuristic-looking vehicle is still very much a prototype, and I wasn’t able to find any footage of test flights, even though Alef says it has been test-driving and test-flying full-size prototypes since 2019 (the video embedded above is from the vehicle's unveiling in October 2022).
